In the machines you've built, how does the water drop below 7/7 when input cuts off? VengefulDonut 14:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Either it doesn't, because the 7/7 water is deliberately trapped in order to keep the pressure plate from sending a signal, or a door opens to allow the 7/7 water to spread into two or more squares, lowering it enough to trigger a change. Closing doors annihilate any water in their squares. Hussell 14:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I was thrown off since you have the drainage doors on the same side as the input control doors. This seems like it could cause unnecessary complications. In your data latch, for example, you will need to do some extra work to get it running for the first time since the closed drainage doors will prevent any water from triggering the yellow and cyan pressure plates. It seems this initialization problem could be avoided by placing the yellow and cyan doors to the right of the plates. VengefulDonut 23:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
